It can’t possibly be because that’s a real concern. They had to be paid actors. You sound like Infowars after a school shooting.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 month agoWhy do you think the turnout was so low? Millions of idiots were pressuring people to withhold their vote over Palestine in a colossal self-fuck. That is if you assume these people spreading that are really that stupid. Some were, but I think a large percentage were paid trolls. And their campaigning worked. Russia owns the United States now

I see, so in order to save “democracy” people should have supported Genocide.
Honeslty maybe the Democrats should have seen this coming to themselves for supporting, and I will repeat it once more in case you don’t understand, GENOCIDE.
Imagine voting for 100% Hitler because another guy could be 150% Hitler.

I’m on this kick of pointing out that the utilitarian ethical calculation still works with 100% Hitler and 100.1% Hitler. Harm minimization, baby!

yeah its why no some takes utilitarian’s seriously. Hi friend I have this new policy where you give me your left arm and I don’t take your legs!

You say that, but “vote blue no matter who” is exactly this argument under the paint.

So by your logic, in Nazi Germany, you would have supported Hitler if there was another guy that was even worse than him ?
Do you even have a red line or can politicians just screw you over indefinitely for as long as there is someone worse !?

Also if the Democrats really wanted to win this elections, they would have run a different candidate that the one that is supervising Gaza right now !
You can also go back and see that people said in a lot of pools that they saw the economy as a big issue for them. If the average person in America sees that their economic situation is getting worse with Biden and wants change, you don’t run his VP for president !
The Democrats don’t care about you and they don’t care about winning. They are funded by the same billioners that fund the Republicans. They just want to kill minorities and cut taxes for the rich as much as Republicans but they don’t say it as clearly.
The Democrats are just controlled opposition that takes away votes from the non-fascist parties in the US.

Only 10% of the electorate even cared about Gaza. You’re giving the American people entirely too much credit.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t know what point you think you’re making, but after yesterday I give the American people zero credit. Millions of voters stayed home pretending it was about gaza. It’s not my job to psychoanalyze them but I do know their actions contradicted their stated goal and that makes them frauds.

Another contributor to low turnout was massive voter suppression. It’d be interesting to see that quantified. Hundreds of thousands of voters were being purged in each of several states. The single-issue Gaza vote was lost in the noise of those gross examples of electoral manipulation.

I’m sure you’re right. It’s hard to know where to focus the blame most, but I am livid that this country is worse than my worst fears. On a certain level I am losing any desire to even care specifically how/why. I wouldn’t have considered not voting before this but now I honestly am 99.9% of the way to saying fuck it all.
drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 1 month ago
Yeah there are only so many times Biden can go “hey isreal, you’d better stop that genocide or else!” While doing nothing whatsoever and even giving them the weapons to continue the genocide before people go “well they aren’t going to do a damn thing about this”

and that’s why I voted trump! /s
drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 1 month ago
I’m not supporting that idea nor voter apathy. But i can certainly understand why Kamala lost Michigan, Dearborn has the largest muslim population in the country. I can understand why so many people there might be apathetic or uninterested in voting for a party that has put forth no pushback or even plans to stop an ongoing genocide against people of their faith.
Again, Trump will absolutely be far worse by just greenlighting isreal.

Something every human had the means to see coming. They just either didn’t care or plugged their eyes and ears to it.
Sooperstition@lemmy.one 1 month ago
The aim of a genocide is the same whether there’s someone with a blue tie approving it or a red tie approving it. Israel wants to displace or kill every Palestinian and break their culture and heritage.
That’s what genocide is. You can’t get worse than that, and that’s what’s happening.
